Temperatures slipped just below freezing on
January 7, chasing out the warm spell ushered in on New Year's Day. (See
Gooderham's photos on previous page.) Yesterday's daytime high hit minus 2.4
C, and today's high was minus 14 C. This brought back ice.

The satellite photo indicates ice cover has
returned to most lakes. Remember, ice without snow cover that is less than
four inches thick may appear as open water, so Lake Temagami may be closed,
just barely.
